Well it has been a year and I have been making my annual firewood trips up to the mountains again this year.
Here is a pic of this years haul.
The first pic is a good size spruce we took down for the brother in law.   I used my PP 475 to fall it and I used my 335 predator for limbing.
PP 505, 475, 445.

Blew up one of the pics to checkout the winch. Gas motor driven? Hard to see. Nice setup.

Yep the winch is gas powered.   The lever sticking up engages a clutch.    It almost did not pull those first two logs up on the trailer.
The logs are 7 foot long.

Yep that is national forest land.  About 8000 ft up in the mountains.

Is your 475 stock, or has it been modified. I got to run one several years ago at a GTG and it was a real strong running saw.

It is stock except for opening up the muffler.   The saw has real good compression and runs strong.
